By the time of this writing (Feb. 22nd), several RINO Senators – Mike
Johanns and Deb Fischer of Nebraska, Thad Cochran of Mississippi, John
McCain-Feingold of Arizona, Lindsey Gramnesty of South Carolina, Richard
Shelby of Alabama, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Susan Collins of
Maine, intend to vote for cloture (i.e. breaking
the filibuster) on Chuck Hagel’s nomination for SECDEF, thus allowing
it to proceed to the floor, where it is sure to pass as the Democrats
have 55 votes.

If these RINO traitors vote for cloture and thus vote to
allow the Democrats to confirm Hagel along party lines (which, BTW,
would be a first for a SECDEF nominee), we must vote them out of office.
All of them. No ifs, no buts.

We must primary all of them (including the
pseudo-conservative Deb Fischer) and, if they somehow survive the
primary, support their general election opponents.

No forgiveness, no ifs or buts, and no get-outta-jail-free-cards for McCain.

But first: why should Hagel’s nomination be filibustered?

As myself and many other conservative writers have chronicled in
great detail over the past several weeks, Chuck Hagel is a strident
leftist (despite being a nominal Republican) who is implacably hostile
to Israel (and to Jews in general), friendly to Hamas, Hezbollah, and
Iran (which has endorsed him), supports the gutting of America’s defense
and deep unilateral cuts in America’s nuclear deterrent, and is totally
unqualified to be SECDEF due to his lack of high-level executive
experience, ignorance of defense issues, and inability to perform well
even before the Senate (as his confirmation hearing proved).

A horrible nightime terror attack occurred last Saturday against a Jewish family's home in southern Jerusalem:

["In another terror incident that was mostly ignored by mainstream
Israeli media, Arabs hurled three firebombs at a building that houses
Jewish families in the Abu Tor neighborhood of southern Jerusalem on
Saturday night.

The firebombs nearly set the whole building on fire, but miraculously
missed. Baruch Pross, a local resident, recalled the attack in a
conversation with Arutz Sheva on Sunday."]

That was not the first time innocent Jewish families have been unjustly terrorized and subjected to brutal and barbaric violence in their homes.

The Jewish families in that southern Jerusalem neighborhood were fortunate to have escaped serious harm. But another Jewish family living in Itamar were brutally murdered in cold blood as they slept in their beds.

This is all veryreminiscent of how black people were unjustly subjected to cruel violent terrorism at the hands of the Ku Klux Klan.

An FBI report describes the Klan's firebombing of an innocent black family at night in 1966.

["In 1868The Ku Klux Klan publishes its Organization and Principles.
Although early supporters of the Klan claimed that it was
philosophically a Christian, patriotic organization rather than a white
supremacist group, a cursory glance at the Klan's catechism reveals
otherwise:

5. Are you opposed to Negro equality both social and political?

6. Are you in favor of a white man's government in this country?

7.
Are you in favor of constitutional liberty, and a government of
equitable laws instead of a government of violence and oppression?

8. Are you in favor of maintaining the constitutional rights of the South?

9.
Are you in favor of the reenfranchisement and emancipation of the white
men of the South, and the restitution of the Southern people to all
their rights, alike proprietary, civil, and political?

10. Do you
believe in the inalienable right of self-preservation of the people
against the exercise of arbitrary and unlicensed power?

The
"inalienable right to self-preservation" is a clear reference to the
Klan's violent activities - and its emphasis, even at this early stage,
is clearly white supremacist."]

While the Klan had its Organization and Principles, the Fatah Palestinian Authority Arabs endeavor to operate under the principles of Islamic Shariah.

The Klan's principles #5-#10 above, with the exception of #8, are equal to the principles of Islamic Shariah law:

Islamic Shariah law is opposed to non-Muslim equality both social and political.

The Fatah PA Arabs have consistently opposed and steadfastly refused to recognize Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people in their own land.

Islam and true democracy are not compatible. Under Islamic Sharia law Jews and other non-Muslims become disenfranchised of equal standing and discriminated against.

The following is an excerpt from the article The United Nations [Should Not Have Recognized] an Apartheid, Judenrein, Islamic state of Palestine:

["The draft constitution for the new state of Palestine declares that
"Islam is the official religion in Palestine." It also states that
Sharia Law will be "the major source of legislation."

It is ironic that
the same Palestinian leadership which supports these concepts for
Palestine refuses to acknowledge that Israel is the nation state of the
Jewish people.

Israel, in contrast to the proposed Palestinian state,
does not have an official state religion. Although it is a Jewish state,
that description is not a religious one but rather a national one. It
accords equal rights to Islam, Christianity and all other religions, as
well as to atheists and agnostics. Indeed, a very high proportion of
Israelis describe themselves as secular.

The new Palestinian state would prohibit any Jews from being
citizens, from owning land or from even living in the Muslim state of
Palestine.

The Ambassador of the PLO to the United States was asked
during an interview whether "any Jew who is inside the borders of
Palestine will have to leave?" His answer: "Absolutely!" After much
criticism, the Ambassador tried to spin his statement, saying that it
applied only to Jews "who are amid the occupation."

Whatever that means,
one thing is clear: large numbers of Jews will not be welcome to remain
in Islamic Palestine as equal citizens. In contrast, Israel has more
than 1 million Arab citizens, most of whom are Muslims. They are equal
under the law, except that they need not serve in the Israeli army.

The new Palestine will have the very "law of return" that it demands
that Israel should give up. All Palestinians, no matter where they live
and regardless of whether they have ever set foot in Palestine, will be
welcome to the new state, while a Jew whose family has lived in Hebron
for thousands of years will be excluded.

To summarize, the new Palestinian state will be a genuine apartheid
state. It will practice religious and ethnic discrimination, it will
have one official religion and it will base its laws on the precepts of
one religion. Imagine what the status of gays will be under Sharia law!"]

If that's not the same type of discriminating hate ideology as the KKK, there is no such thing as kosher Rye bread!

Why Syria Welcomed David Duke

["David Duke, perhaps America's most notorious racist and Holocaust-denier, has finally found a country that welcomes him: Syria.

The Syrian government last week rolled out the red carpet for Duke, the
former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, one-time Louisiana State
Representative, and author of a vicious screed called 'Jewish Supremacism: My Awakening to the Jewish Question.'

Duke addressed a rally that was broadcast on Syrian government
television (he told the crowd that New York and Washington, D.C. are
"occupied by the Zionists"), held a press conference alongside Members
of the Syrian Parliament, and basked in the lavish praise of the Grand
Mufti of Syria, the country's top Islamic religious leader, who praised
Duke's "courage" and his "message of peace.” A photo of a beaming Duke
with two Syrian officials now headlines his web site."]-read the rest here.

Two different legislative actions regarding U.S. weapons to Egypt have been launched by two different U.S. senators.

Sen. Rand Paul introduced legislation that would outright ban sales and transfer of U.S. weapons to Egypt in light of the Muslim Brotherhood takeover:

[Sen. Rand Paul, a Republican from Kentucky, proposed a bill
prohibiting the sale of F-16 aircraft, tanks and other advanced weapons
to Egypt’s Muslim-Brotherhood, The Hill reported.

“I think it is a blunder of the first proportion to send
sophisticated weapons to a country that allowed a mob to attack our
embassy and to burn our flag,” Paul said on the Senate floor. “I find it
objectionable to send weapons, F-16s and tanks, to a company that
allowed a mob chanting ‘death to America’ to threaten our American
diplomats.”]

However, another U.S. senator, James Inhofe, voted against the Paul legislation:

[Republican Sen. James Inhofe from Oklahoma, the new ranking member on
the Senate Armed Services Committee, introduced similar legislation
after voting against Paul's amendment.

Inhofe said that an outright ban would cost the U.S. defense industry $2.2 billion and diminish America's leverage over Egypt.

While his bill did not propose banning sales altogether, it would
suspend them unless President Obama certifies that Egypt is committed to
pursuing peaceful relations with Israel,...]

"While his bill [Inhofe] did not propose banning sales altogether, it would suspend them unless President Obama certifies that Egypt is committed to pursuing peaceful relations with Israel..."

That language sounds awful familiar.

Sort of like the language in the Palestinian Anti-terrorism Act of 2006 signed into law by President Bush.

That particular legislation banned funding of the Fatah-run Palestinian Authority unless the President or Secretary of State could certify to Congress that the Palestinian Authority met all the required criteria.

For example,-

-the Palestinian Authority must not promote or engage in anti-Israeli hate incitement in any of its electronic or print media.

[in addidtion, members of the terrorist group have also openly served in Mahmoud Abbas's security services.]

-the Palestinian Authority must officially recognize Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people.

[the PA has refused to do so]

At no time has the Palestinian Authority ever met these criteria. But they have received $ billions in U.S. taxpayer aid and funding anyway because both Republican and Democratic presidents have exercised the built-in waiver to get around the law and bestow un-merrited taxpayer funding of the PA.

On the matter of Egypt, Rand Paul is right and James Inhofe is wrong.

Furthermore, Obama could make such a certification even though it could be totally un-warranted.

As far as money is concerned it is reprehensible for the U.S. defence industry to profit by selling weapons of any kind to Islamist regimes that repress and discriminate against their non-muslim citizens.

Such as that endured by the Egyptian Christian Copts at the hands of the Egyptian Islamists.

For the U.S. government or the defence weapons industry to look the other way in order to profit financially is absolutely repugnant.
